-we already sent tons of photos to CPC-M together with our application and now the CEM is asking for it again.. just how many pictures do they need? or maybe, the CPC-M did not send our photos to CEM? what do you think about this guys? does anyone of you encounter or receive a letter like this? any comments or suggestions will be much appreciated. thank you! :)



Hi Juncess,

Did you already receive your PPR?

Thanks for that update! I'm also waiting to hear about my sponsorship for my partner, they received my application on October 11th 2011 and I still know nothing!! this is quite a stressful process!
 
wow! mate i think you need to call them and find out , they are currently processing oct 26th applications and i guess this week they might finish with october applications ,normally you should have gotten your approval already , did u get an acknowlegment of receipt at least ?

Yeah I received the acknowledgement letter on November 25th but haven't heard anything since....I sent an email today to CIC to see what's going on...my application is still in Missassauga but I'm in the UK so I can't call their help line...it's very frustrating!
 
i see ! are u a canadian citizen?because if you are a permanent resident , you must be here in Canada when you sponsor your partner but if you are a canadian citizen then it 's fine then , i think you should try to have an update on your case
Good luck to all of us !

@ Juncess

It's confusing from CEM's part, it's very clear that they already have your papers and yet no ppr.
It can be that my papers are already with them since my approval date is ahead than yours,
it's just that they are not sending request to us, hmmn.... what can be the reason for delaying
the request. Hope that any time this month we can hear the ppr from them.

God bless!

I'm still waiting as well. My husband decided to call and they told him they are backlogged and to give them 3 weeks. By the way what is the e-mail address for CIC?

Argh! I feel your pain! the email is: question@cic.gc.ca...make sure to include your name, DOB, ID, Application Type, When, Where it was sent, Address and Phone. I received a reply from them today, they said they had contacted the office in charge and they were looking into the issue, and that I should contact them again in a month if I hadn't had a reply.....this is not helping witht the already stressful situation! Good luck to you and your husband, hope to hear some news soon!
 
Woo Hoo ! Got my confirmation by email that I was approved to sponsor and my application will be sent abroad!!! FYI Application was received Oct31,2011. Email approval received today Jan 11, 2012!
